Are you watching it in installments?

Bottle Rocket may be my favorite of Anderson's films. It's certainly the funniest.

Re: Criterion Bottle Rocket?

The Criterion release of Bottle Rocket was mentioned by the "guest critic that we like" on Ebert & Roeper last week.
So, I think it's a happening thing!

Re: Criterion Bottle Rocket?

Wes Anderson has already confirmed that it's a go.

Re: Criterion Bottle Rocket?

An interview he conducted with the boys at Ain't It Cool News goes into more detail. Anderson talks about trying to include "everything good" he can find, including mounds of deleted scenes, the original short film, and deleted scenes for the short film itself. He also hinted at releasing a longer cut of the film in this set!

Sa-weet. Criterion strikes gold again!

Here's the relevant portion.

But some of the stuff is at my mother's house in Texas, so I have to go to Texas and dig through all my boxes, because there's materials for the movies that I haven't looked at in a long, long time. And we want to try and include everything that might be good.

[Just before the Q&A, Wes and I talked in more detail about his plans for this release, which included a great deal of deleted scenes, some of which he way try to incorporate into the film, with the rest being standard deleted scenes extras. Of course the original BOTTLE ROCKET short would be on the set, but Wes added that he's also got outtakes from that as well that he wants to find.]

The only problem is that it sounds like it's going to be a while. All good things to those who wait I guess.

Re: Criterion Bottle Rocket?

Maybe by the time it comes out, Criterion will be putting out BDs.

I'm amazed this thread has been open for four years. I'm really looking forward to this Criterion Edition. I think its Wes Anderson's best film.

Is this your first Wes Anderson movie? Bottle Rocket is probably his least strange movie.

Re: Criterion Bottle Rocket?

Yeah...it's the film I use most often to introduce the great unwashed to his works (occasionally, but not always, they've already heard of Rushmore).

Re: Criterion Bottle Rocket?

Well that was said in 2005... almost 3 years ago.

And it has since been confirmed by the director himself. So I'm not sure that statement still holds any merit.

Re: Criterion Bottle Rocket?

It's official! Criterion just sent an email announcing their Blu-Ray line, including the first dozen titles. Ten of them are films they already put out on DVD, but they also include Bottle Rocket and the great El Norte. I can only assume that they'll put those out on regular DVD.

Re: Criterion Bottle Rocket?

I hope Criterion releases SD DVD releases of their Blu-Ray line (especially Bottle Rocket and Chungking Express), otherwise I might be persuaded to finally but a Blu-Ray player!

Re: Criterion Bottle Rocket?

I'm much more excited about Chungking Express! That movie has so, so long deserved good treatment. The R1 Kino is awful and even the other releases are not much better. Hopefully this time they will get the coloring correct, as the R1 Kino editions of Wong Kar Wai's films often went for a "neutral" color palette. A shame they couldn't pick up the rest of his library.

I'm assuming that SD versions of these will follow (because why wouldn't they?).

Yeah, it's official that the Blu-ray is coming but until they explicitly announce it on SD-DVD it will be just that, an assumption.

They confirmed the SD release many months ago in multiple emails to Criterion forum members. Even the studios can't afford to create discs exclusively for the tiny Blu-Ray market. Criterion certainly can't either.

Re: Criterion Bottle Rocket?

Interesting point. Aren't there any Blu-Ray exclusive releases?
